LED Chip-on-Board benefits and advantages: cost-effectiveness, custom arrays, enhanced efficiency, and reduced ownership costs.

Why LED Chip-on-Board?

Cost-effective alternative to incandescent and fluorescent light sources

Increased life span and efficiency
System integration, no user-serviceable parts
The reduced total cost of ownership
Customised array size and shape
Application-specific wavelengths

Chip-on-board vs. surface-mounted LEDs:

Low-pitch / higher density arrays
Improved efficiency and heat dissipation
No over-moulding material boosts light output
Fewer interconnects reduce reliability risk

Important parameters for the washing step include wash time, wash rpm, DI water pressure, dry time, dry rpm, temperature and airflow rate. As a company, we have developed a number of optimized wafer saw and wash processes for various MEMS and Sensor devices in order to avoid damage to the sensitive membrane and optical surfaces.

ALTER can accept customer’s wafers directly from the wafer foundry, and provide a complete back-end service including electronic wafer sort/probing, thinning and dicing, packaging and final test.

ALTER expertise and capability in wafer sawing will reduce risk and reduce time to market for your wafer saw requirements as well as providing a cost-effective manufacturing option.
